2008, y'all!

Well, I'm back at the McMenamin's in Lincoln City (because their WiFi connection rocks) and I'm enjoying some chowder before heading north to Tillamook to visit the famous cheese factory. Tomorrow will bring a visit to one of my favorite places in the world – Cape Perpetua and Heceta Head – and then a bite at the Drift Inn in Yachats where Richard Sharpless will be making some singer/songwriter magic. Friday I'll meander back to Lebanon to hang with the family a bit more before heading back to windy So Cal on Saturday.

Also... tonight, Dave Letterman and Craig Ferguson will be back with new shows. I appreciate what the writers' strike is all about, but I've really missed the topical and current aspect of the late night shows. So, hooray!

The weather today is cold and windy and drippy and – well – just so perfectly Oregon-like. I'm feeling a little nostalgic and enjoying a delightful melancholy, and yet I'm eagerly looking forward to the new year. My 2008 will be bringing so many great opportunities, and for the first time these opportunities are dependent solely on my own elbow grease. I can't wait. Bring it on!

So, here at the headwaters of a new year, I wish you all love and joy and especially peace in 2008. Be tenacious with all those exciting new opportunities and adventures. Go get 'em, y'all!

BINGO!

Hi all! I'm typing this little entry from McMenamin's Lighthouse Brewpub in Lincoln City, OR. Mom, Grandma, and Aunt Pam are grabbing a bite elsewhere and then wandering around a bit before we all hit Chinook Winds Casino for our New Year's Eve bingo extravaganza! Tonight's theme finds us at a 1940's USO show. Should be fun. Hope I win.

As we teeter on the edge of 2007, my deeply rooted wish is for peace – in the hearts of you and I, as well as throughout the world. May 2008 bring all the amazing opportunities and successes we all can handle.

As a wee reminder, I've recently posted my latest cast sketch – the Phantom Spectacular in Las Vegas! It was a huge project. Take a peek at the grandeur! :0)

Well, that's all for now. Off to bingo! Peace and love, y'all!
